lOO 9. TRICHOMANES. § 2. EBTBICHOMAKKS. C. ABRODICTYtlM. 



Rhizome short-creeping or ascending, densely hirsute. Stipes approximate 

 or suhtufted, 2'/j — 7*/j c.M. long, slender, erect, naked, sparingly hairy at 

 the base. Fronds 5 — ^20 c.M. long, l*/j — 4 c.M. broad, lanceolate or oblong; 

 main rachis whether or not winged. Pinnae oblong, erecto-patent, the central 

 ones the lai'gest, pinnatifid to a naiTowly winged rachis. Pinnulae linear, 

 usually simple, occasionally forked. Ultimate segments 72 — IV2 c.M. long, 

 + %—! m.M. broad. Texture rather flaccid, the cells transversally elongated, 

 arranged in obliquely Iqngitudinal (ladder-shaped) rows. Sori 1 — 4 to a 

 pinna, terminal on short lobes; indusium winged, the mouth dilated. — 

 Quite different from all the other species of Trichomanes, which have all + 

 roundish, quadrangular, hexagonal or longitudinally oblong cells.

Rhizome erect. Stipes tufted, I'/j— 15 c.M. long, erect, naked^aTvillose. 

 Fronds 5—25 c.M. long, I'/j— 5 c.M. broad, lanceolate-oblong; main rachis 

 hairy. Pinnae short-stalked or sessile with a narrowed base, oblong, unequal- 

 sided, the apex blunt or rounded, the margin finely toothed or ciliate ('), the 

 base obliquely cuneate. Texture firm; veins numerous, close, parallel. Sori 1 — 4 

 to a pinna, placed on the upper edge; indusium free, the mouth truncate or 

 dilate; receptacle much exserted.
